==Music video==
A [[low budget]] [[music video]] was made in promotion of the single. The video was shot entirely in [[black and white]] and features the band members sitting inside of a [[photo booth]] in various sequence and combination. The band are all wearing black [[leather]] jackets and bring in various objects and clothes into the booth. One object brought in multiple times is a piece of cardboard with a circular hole which each member brings in at a certain point and stares into.

There are two primary [[camera angles]] used during the video. The first angle comes from just outside the booth and oversees the members' entrance into the booth. The other angle comes from inside the booth, filming the member in front of a curtain. The first angle is used exclusively until 2:27 when the second angle becomes used exclusively.
